Entry requirements
The Doctoral programme at Imperial College Business School is a rigorous and intensive programme for students with excellent academic backgrounds.

Application requirements include:
• Complete degree transcripts
• GMAT/GRE results
• Curriculum vitae
• Statement of purpose
• English language test results (if applicable)
• Two academic references
We therefore look for evidence of strong and consistent academic performance and expect applicants to have high grades at undergraduate and Master's level, including a strong dissertation.
